When you hear the name Jesse...

[Grimmfebruary]

Too American? Assume it's a girl?

Can't make my mind up and dp loves it.

[Justbookedasummmerholiday]

Love it for a boy but we had 2 J names already!!

[OliviaTheFox]

I think Breaking Bad.

[Grimmfebruary]

I think breaking bad too 😫😂

[EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans]

If I hear it I think girl. Seeing it written like that I'd think boy.

[RJnomore1]

I hear that song by joshua whatsisname

It's a nice song

[ProfessorPickles]

I thought Jesse Pinkman too!
However, if you love it get it used. You’ll start associating it with your child in no time and so will everyone else

[Grimmfebruary]

Dp really likes it and it goes well with his last name, I just can't get the 'oh I thought it was a girls name' out my head! It makes me think of cowboys!
Maybe I'll come round on it haha!

[notacooldad]

The only Jessie's I know re male and in their teens and twenty's now.

[notacooldad]

I'm going to have Rick Springfield's 'Jessie's girl' in my head all day now!

[SummerRoberts]

It’s my DP’s favourite boys name. I really really like it. Definitely a boy. And it also makes me think Breaking Bad!

[Gingernaut]

Sorry. No help at all.

[pipilangstrumpf]

I know a Jessica nicknamed Jess or Jessy. So girl for me.

[user1499786242]

Love the name Jesse for a boy but we have a close friend who used it for her little boy
Think it's an amazing name!

[fleshmarketclose]

I love it so would assume boy but I wouldn't use it around here as it's used as a mild rebuke when you have done something stupid "What a Jesse!", "You Jesse!" etc

[OliviaTheFox]

Also I feel like it’s a nickname not a full name. Even tho I do like it.

[Fekko]

'Ya big Jessie' I'm from Scotland, if that adds any perspective.

[Grimmfebruary]

I'm surprised it's getting such a positive reaction, I was expecting a much more negative view on it.

I might come round to it. I do like it, I just find it to be a bit more on the 'unusual' side for where we are. I don't know any Jesses at all!

[BernardBlacksHangover]

I love Jesse for a boy! It would be on my list for dc2, due in January, but like the op, my Dh thinks of it as a girl name and has vetoed .

[hangingkebab]

I like it, it makes me think of cowboys.

[Grimmfebruary]

Bernard I'm due February! We have no short list, despite know since September we were having a boy!
Dp has what I would an usual taste in names whereas I prefer more classic, traditional ones! 😂

[BernardBlacksHangover]

Ah cool! See you on the labour ward !

[MyWhatICallNameChange]

I know a couple of boy Jesse's and a few girl Jessie's (short for Jessica) so it's not wildly unusual.

[Grimmfebruary]

I know lots of Jessica's with all the nicknames that go with it, just no Jesse's! Luckily we aren't in Scotland so it's not really an insult round here haha.

[pipilangstrumpf]

Jesse sounds like a cute nickname for Jessica - Jess, Jessie.

It doesn’t sound masculine to my ears

[MyBootsAreMuddy]

I think surfer dude with floppy hair. I'm kiwi and know a couple of kiwi/ausie guys called Jesse and they all have floppy shoulderish length hair.
